What they're working on

The sustainability group led by Zarja Krevelj, HLM Architects and Finn Caldwell, Morrison Construction has been focused on looking into different ‘Alt futures’ across Scotland – including urban, semi-urban and rural locations to gain a more holistic view of the current issues faced across the country.

Once complete, the findings for the urban, semi-urban and rural alt futures will be shared in an online document.

On Thursday 24 October 2024, the BE Changemakers explored their project in their 'Reimagining the Built Environment // Vision 2034' event hosted in Glasgow. The event discussed how we can envisage an alternative future - one where we have broken free of “business as usual” and embraced innovation, collaboration and radical optimism.
